This morning i used my Sat Nav using the usual previous entered route to get me to work thro London etc.
As i came thro a certain location a new voice highlighted that there are new traffic roadworks ahead.
Wow, this is a traffic update …..So my system must be receiving live information that i guess the previous owner subscribed to ?
Or is this a usual refinement on these systems - I'm a new owner of a few months …..
How long a duration will i receive this data ?

Mine does this occasionally as well and I've had it over 16 months now. Very intriguing! Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

its the tmc telling you, have a read of the owners manual... ... - .- -.

Living in London, TMC is incredibly useful - I use it if I am going across town even if I know the way. You are able to scan for stations carrying the data (the TMC option on the Sat Nav menu). Tuning to Classic FM is recommended in the handbook, but Smooth (rather appropriate, I suppose) is more reliable.
